Borscht

Sea Devil

2013
Dean C. Marcial & Brett Potter

An American fisherman attempts to smuggle two Cuban immigrants into Miami, passing them off as day laborers. While the group trawls for shrimp, a fourth person boards the boat, carrying a secret at the bottom of the Ocean.

Dean C. Marcial and Brett Potter created this film for Borscht 8.

PRESS

"All great horror is rooted in the concept of the chase, which requires three basic ingredients: a unique protagonist, a terrifying antagonist, and immaculate filmmaking craft. Pull off one or two of these elements and you’ve got a smash like It Follows. Hit all three and you’ve got a masterpiece like Halloween or The Thing. While tantalizingly brief, Sea Devil shows all the promise of the latter." Short of the Week
